Okay, okay, okay! I’m very excited to present to you the engagement photos of Alli and Alex. Alli and I go wayyyyy back. I’d say we were both the few crazy, energetic, funny, outgoing types at the church that we both used to attend. It was truly good seeing her again, and it’s good to know that she’s still the same. This is only my second time meeting Alex, but I like him! He’s a lot more silly than I originally thought, and I told him that. This engagement shoot was a whole lot of fun, and I’m sure you’ll be able to see that from these photos. I was really trying to push for fun, interesting, and out there. We had a lot of laughs just like old times. I loved it.

So Alex teaches chemistry…AND they have chemistry! OHhhhhhh. Haha.

Peek….

a…

Boo! (yeah i know that was kinda cheesy huh? but it was fun)

Some of my favorite, of all time are right here.

I didn’t tell Alex to look away. I think he was zoning out, since this was the end of the shoot. But I loved the way it came out.

This is another engagement that I photographed in NYC. This lovely young couple is Serena and Mark and arguably one of the most fashionable couples I have photographed in my career. I have to give it up to Mark for his strikingly sharp jacket, I love it. Mark and I had a considerably long conversation about fashion which is not something I’m used to having with guys. But it was actually really fun and interesting. But before that conversation we had a very exciting conversation about camera gear and camera backpacks. He showed me his Canon 7D with this cool eye attachment that he uses to shoot video. Mark shoots for MTV, by the way, which is pretty incredible. Then I busted out my favorite camera backpack of all time, the Lowepro Flipside 300, to show him, and he was impressed, I think.

After the shoot we all went to Central Park to go ice-skating. It was a lot of fun despite having to pay a whole lot of money for for rentals and lockers. :(. There are photos from their shoot. At the request of Serena, this was shot in a fashionable way.

The shot below is kinda cliche with a blurry moving train in the back, but I’ve always wanted to do it. So yay!

I’m back today from a 1 week trip from NYC, and it was a very wonderful, interesting, exciting trip! I’ll post some of those photos soon. But as much as I love traveling, it’s becoming harder and harder to enjoy traveling when TSA makes it harder and harder to get through security. I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually one day everyone has to go to the airport in their underwear, and in their underwear only. That might be easier than waiting in line to strip down and put it into plastic tubs just to put it back on again after you wait till everyone in front of you does the same. Bleh. Today, TSA pulled me aside to do a ‘random’ search, which only made my traveling experience less fun.

Anyway, this is Patty and Randy, they’re a happily (and sorta newly) married couple. In case you can’t tell, Randy’s in the Air Force which is why I shot him with jets, airplanes, and hangars in the background. I loved this shoot! This is some of my best work yet, I had a great looking couple in front of aircraft. Uber awesome.
